No. 1 is of White clover (Trifolium repens), by Mr. Way.' 

 ,, 2 and 3 of Cow-grass (Trifolium^ medium?), by Dr. Anderson. 1 

 , , 4 and 5 of Yellow clover (Trifolium procumbens), by Dr. Anderson. 



The organic composition of the various species, by 

 which their relative feeding values may be estimated, 

 has also been carefully determined by Dr. Voelcker and 

 Dr. Anderson. 



The first series of determinations relates to the samples 

 of Red clover T. pratense only, whose inorganic com- 

 position is given in the foregoing analyses. 



The second series comprises several other species whose 



1 It is not quite clear which species of clover is here meant. The analyses 

 are stated by Dr. Anderson to have reference to the T. medium or Cow-grass ; 

 whereas this species is properly the Zigzag clover or Marl-grass the Cow-grar s 

 being the T. pratense pcrennc.
